The High Court disposed of a petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. for quashing criminal proceedings. Relying on a Supreme Court precedent, the court held that since the offences were triable by a Magistrate and an alternative remedy of discharge existed, the petitioner should approach the trial court first. The petition was dismissed with a direction to file for discharge.
What did the court decide?
The applicant directed to file an application for discharge before the trial court; pending miscellaneous petitions dismissed.
